Dreaming Back to Shenzhen: Laying Low as a Landlord

Having followed the story this far, one thing has always struck me as odd: the author's character portrayal feels strange. In almost every interpersonal interaction, the author addresses each other by their full names. This applies to colleagues, friends, peers, juniors, and even lovers, regardless of whether they are referring to a third party or chatting face-to-face.

I don't see any redeeming qualities in Xiao Tingting. She only lent me 500,000 yuan initially, and the Xiao family is like parasites clinging to the male lead. Their stock market success depends entirely on him, as if the Xiao family were reborn. The protagonist hasn't even earned much, yet the Xiao family has already made over 20 million yuan.

Unauthorized housing developments are out of the question. If you make money, you can partner with a major player in Foshan. You can run a private equity firm, collaborating with Country Garden, investing a certain amount in a project through a debt-for-equity swap. You don't need the money, you just want the properties. You can create a model similar to Danke Apartment (a rental platform in Shenzhen). Own the properties, run your own company to rent them out and collect rent.

Having read over 200 chapters, I won't comment on the writing quality. It just feels like the author's world is entirely light, devoid of darkness. A billionaire, and he doesn't even have a bodyguard. And you've amassed so much money from the Americans. I think the protagonist's grave must be overgrown with weeds by now. Even if he's not dead, he should be arrested.

The protagonist is truly remarkable. The government hasn't even introduced affordable housing, yet you've done so; you're even more awesome than the government!

Having been a bookworm for over a decade, I got tired of urban novels after reading so many. This one was alright at the beginning, but after the daughter appeared, I became completely obsessed with her. Even with this obsession, I still insisted on getting her married and finding her a stepmother.

The title shouldn't be "Gou" (苟), it should be "Lang" (浪). It's just endless rambling, like a charlatan, making grand pronouncements. I reiterate, I left before finishing the free chapters. If it weren't for the few good stock market novels on Qidian, I'd have left immediately and never see them again. Also, don't set up a flag at the beginning—finding a wife from a past life—only to end up with a harem later on. It's self-contradictory.

I've read several finance-themed novels, and one thing has always puzzled me: the protagonist is capable of making money, and consistently so, so why does he have to be so humble? Are all private equity firms like this? Begging others to invest in you? This kind of mentality makes me incredibly uncomfortable. The protagonist's position clearly allows him to choose whether or not to invest, so why does he have to be so subservient?

The first half of this novel was alright, but the latter part, where they portray their teenage daughter as so incredibly powerful, became unreadable.

I shouldn't have read this book; it might be more suitable for children. The initial ideas seemed plausible, but the author seemed like a child? First, there is a clear lack of financial knowledge, leading to errors in understanding money and basic common sense based on the current situation.
